British intelligence cannot account for thousands of missing storage devices

Original: British intelligence misplaced 1000s of storage devices still can't say how many

A British intelligence agency has admitted losing track of thousands of storage devices and, years later, still cannot say exactly how many are missing. The disclosure raises questions about the handling of potentially sensitive classified material and the effectiveness of the agency's asset-tracking and security procedures. Commentators are questioning how such losses could persist without a clear accounting.

Why now: Fresh reporting on a security lapse at an intelligence agency draws attention because of the obvious risks of unaccounted-for classified data.
